Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display signs are outdoor, full matrix,
full-color electronic LED displays with daylight-visible characters
and a weather-resistant enclosure. The unique, state-of-the-art design
produces a dynamic advertising message center that is highly energy
efficient and easy to operate, install and service. Various Alpha
Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display models can display from one to thirteen
lines of text, graphics, and animations in 16.7 million colors; and
they can be networked together with other Alpha Eclipse, Alpha,
AlphaPremiere, and AlphaVision displays using RS485,
Ethernet, or wireless connectivity.

Alpha
Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display Series signs are versatile outdoor LED message centers
designed for industrial and commercial use. The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display
is one of the brightest and sharpest outdoor displays available.

Messages
are enhanced by 29 built-in display modes; 7 text sizes; serif and
san-serif fonts; fixed and proportional spacing; user-designed graphics
and animations display; day, date and time of day display; temperature
display; five automatic day, hour, and minute counters; special symbols
and international characters; and many other special features.

Messages
may be entered using a computer and special messaging software. Information
from customer files (SQL, ODBC, Excel, DDE, etc.) can be displayed
automatically. Automode programming features eliminate the need to
learn complicated programming procedures. Within seconds, anyone can
create attractive visual messages with attention-getting impact.

Built-in
diagnostic, testing, and reset switches provide self-diagnostic capability,
easy memory clearing, and convenient reset features for program developers
and end users.

Applications

The Alpha
Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display is designed for high-visibility,
high-traffic messaging and advertising applications. Its modular building-block
design can be used to provide configurations from 22-inches high to
110-inches high and from 50-inches wide to 359-inches wide. It has
seven built-in character sizes (6.4-inch, 9.2-inch, 13.3-inch, 18.8-inch,
20.2-inch, 27-inch, and 42.2-inch), and it can display Windows fonts
as well.

2
Character Fonts  Text can be displayed in two standard fonts
 serif (fancy) or san-serif (block). Custom fonts may be created.

4
Character Widths  Text can be displayed in four standard
widths  normal, wide, double-wide, or wide double-wide. Wider
characters can be designed by the user.

Fixed
or Proportional Spacing  Alphabetic and numeric characters,
spaces, and symbols can be displayed using fixed or proportional spacing.
With proportional spacing, narrow characters, such as the letter i,
and symbols, such as the exclamation point (!), the period (.), and
the comma (,), are narrower and use fewer pixels than other alphabetical
and numerical characters. With fixed spacing, all characters and symbols
are the same pixel width. The Fixed Characters code left-justifies
messages, and uses fixed (equal) character spacing from left to right.
The primary use of the Fixed Characters feature on the Alpha 7080C
is to simplify the alignment of data from line to line, making it
easier to place titles over or under data.

True
Descenders - The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display will display
the lower case characters g, j, p, q,
and y with the descenders below the character baseline.

96
Character Styles  The two fonts, seven character heights,
and four character widths can be combined to produce forty-eight proportionally-spaced
character styles and forty-eight fixed-width character styles in the
following combinations:

Four
Custom Character Sets - The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display allows
the user to compose and store up to four unique custom character sets
that are either 5-pixels, 7/8-pixels, 10-pixels, or 15/16-pixels high
in the sign. These character sets may be selected as needed.

Store
95 Messages  The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display will
hold up to 95 messages files at one time. Each message file can be
any size. The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display dynamically allocates
memory to each message file as needed up to the total amount of memory
available (1,000,000 bytes).

Hold
Times Up to Six Minutes - Messages can be programmed to hold on
the screen for up to six minutes.

Battery
Backup  The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display has a lithium
battery backup for messages. Messages are retained in memory for up
to six months when the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display is powered
off.

Sequence
128 Messages  Up to 128 messages files may be run in a sequence.
Messages files may be listed more than once in the sequence.

Message
Scheduling  Messages may be scheduled by day, date, and
time of day. Each message can display on its own schedule, automatically
turning on and turning off at specified times on specified days without
human or computer intervention. Each message can be programmed with
the day or date and time to start running and the day or date and
time to stop running. Daily recurring messages, such as Lunch Time
Specials and Coffee Break Specials or messages coordinated
with public transportation arrival and departure schedules, can turn
on and turn off at the appropriate times each day. Safety-oriented
messages, such as "Lift With Your Legs, Not With Your Back" or "Don't
Forget To Wear Your Safety Goggles" can be scheduled to display at
different times, instead of at the same time, to achieve maximum effect
and variety.

Password
Protection and Message Locking  These features are provided
to prevent unauthorized messages or changes to messages in the Alpha
Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display.

International
Character Set  Messages may contain all the upper and lower
case letters (A - Z and a - z), the numbers 0 - 9, and the special
characters:

! @ # $ % & * ( ) _ - + = | \ { } [ ] : ; ??? ??? < > , . ? /
`

The
following international characters and symbols may also be displayed:

These
characters and symbols allow you to compose messages in more than
one language, in English and in Spanish, for example, so you can
display the messages in an alternating language message sequence.

24
Special Characters
The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display also has 24 built-in special
characters that may be displayed in messages:

29
Display Modes  The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display
has 29 display modes that control how the characters of each message
enter, display and exit. Using a variety of display modes in a message
gives "eye-appeal" to the message:

Automode
 Characters enter, pause, and exit the display using randomly
selected display modes. With the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display,
the user may specify a custom Automode sequence table with
up to fifteen display mode codes.

Roll
(Up, Down, Left, Right. In, Out)  Characters move onto
the display down from the top (Roll Down), up from the bottom
(Roll Up), from the right end to the left (Roll Left), from the
left end to the right (Roll Right), from the right and left ends
to the center (Roll In), and from the center of the display to
the right and left ends (Roll Out).

Wipe
(Up, Down, Left, Right, In, Out)  Characters are revealed
as each horizontal row or vertical column of pixels is lighted
row by row or column by column  from the top row of the
character down (Wipe Down), from the bottom row of the character
up (Wipe Up), from the left column of the message to the right
(Wipe Right), from the right column of the message to the left
(Wipe Left), from the center column of the message to the right
and left columns (Wipe Out), or from the right and left columns
of the message to the center column (Wipe In).

Clock
- Wipe in a clockwide direction.

Scroll
 Characters move up onto the display from the bottom, and
any displayed characters move up and off the display.

Rotate
 Characters travel from right to left across the display
in the familiar stock market ticker display mode.

Condensed
Rotate  Characters travel from right to left across
the display in the familiar stock market ticker display mode.
Characters are approximately half their normal width. Only works
with 7-pixel high characters.

Hold
 Characters display without effects or motion for a specified
length of time. The length of pause time the message stays on
the screen is determined by the Speed code.

Flash
 All characters blink on and off simultaneously several
times.

Explode
- Message flies apart from the center.

Twinkle
 The pixels of the displayed characters oscillate their
intensity.

Sparkle
 New characters appear as their pixels turn on randomly
and pixels in existing characters randomly turn off.

Interlock
 The 2nd, 4th, and 6th horizontal rows of pixels in the
characters move rapidly from the left end to the right, while
the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th horizontal rows of pixels move rapidly
from the right end to the left, forming the message on the display.

Slide
 Characters slide rapidly across the display, one at a time,
from right to left, building the message from left to right.

Snow
 Lighted pixels sprinkle down from the top pixel row, building
new characters from the bottom up, like accumulating snow.

Spray
 The pixels of characters move across the display from right
to left in a spray effect, forming the characters from left to
right.

Starburst
 Several star-patterns display randomly, then form new characters,
replacing any previously displayed characters.

Switch
 Every other character, i.e., the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th,
etc., moves onto the display from the top down, as the remaining
characters move onto the display from the bottom up, pausing momentarily
to display the message.

Cycle
Colors - Each horizontal row of pixels in the message phrase
is displayed in a color that changes four times a second, followed
by a momentary pause, displaying the message phrase in multiple
color patterns.

Six
Position Codes - The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display has
six Position codes - Top, Bottom, Middle, Fill, Left, and Right -
that specify where the text displays on the sign. With these codes,
you may freeze text on the top, bottom, left or right sides of the
display while text, animations or graphics are changing on another
area of the sign display.

Pause
Control  The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display has seven
versatile Speed codes that specify how long characters should display
or pause after the various display effects. There are five standard
speed settings from Speed 1 to Speed 5 that specify pauses from 1
to 6 seconds. There is also a Speed setting that allows you to specify
a pause
between effects of up to 255 seconds or tenths of seconds. The fastest
speed code, No Hold, is used to create user-designed animation effects.

Automatic
Message Centering  Messages are automatically centered on
the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display display in all display modes,
except when the Fixed Characters code is used. The Fixed Characters
code left-justifies messages, and uses fixed (equal) character spacing
from left to right. The primary use of the Fixed Characters code on
the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display is to display similar fields
of data on consecutive screens in the same pixel positions.

Display
Graphics  The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display will
display user-designed graphics and logos with your messages. Graphics
are created, stored, and displayed by the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display using a computer and special software. You may scan graphics,
reduce them to the correct size for the display, save the graphics
files on disk, then use software, such as AlphaNet,
to send messages and graphics to the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display.

Display
Custom Animations  The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display
will display user-designed animations  sequences of user-designed
bitmap graphic files. The animations may play alone, or they may be
included with a text message.

Display
Large RGB Picture Files - Only Alpha Eclipse 3600 LED signs
support RGB DOTS PICTURE files. RGB DOTS PICTURE files
are used to store RGB color dot patterns which are displayed by "calling"
a picture file from a TEXT file. The main purpose of RGB DOTS PICTURE
files is to display RGB graphics which could potentially have over
16 million colors. When reading an RGB DOTS PICTURE file, the
information on a sign will pause until the entire file has been received.
Once a sign has completely transmitted the file, the sign will continue
displaying the message from where it was interrupted. The size of
an RGB DOTS PICTURE file can be up to 65535 x 65535 pixels.

Real-Time
Clock  The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display has a built-in,
battery backed up real-time clock. The time and date (day, month,
year) can be set using either the remote control keyboard or using
a computer with software that sends the computer system time and date
to the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display. The day, date, and time
are retained in Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display memory for up
to a month when the unit is powered off.

12-
or 24-Hour Time Display  The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display can display the time of day in either 12-hour or 24-hour
format.

Display
Current Temperature in Fahrenheit or Celcius  The Alpha
Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display may be equipped with a temperature sensor
that allows the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display to display the
current temperature. The temperature may be adjusted with the builti-in
temperature offset feature for improved temperature accuracy. The
temperature is accurate to within ± 1???.

5
Counters  The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display will
automatically count up or down in any increment, updating every minute,
hour, or day. Up to five different counters may be active in your
messages at the same time. Counting may begin at any value between
0 and 99999999. Messages can display the number of days, minutes,
or hours until a special event; the number of days or hours since
a lost-time accident; or a numeric value that increments or decrements
by the same amount every minute, hour, or day.

Target
Messages  Upon reaching specified Counter "target" values,
specific target messages can be displayed automatically. For example,
a message might display "10 DAYS WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT!" and on the
next day automatically display "11 DAYS WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT!" followed
by the target message: "A NEW RECORD... CONGRATULATIONS!"

Timeout
Message - The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display user may specify
a timeout period and a timeout message that plays when the timeout
period has expired. If no message is received during the timeout period,
the timeout message can be displayed automatically.

Multiple
Connectivity Options  The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display
may be attached to a wide variety of computers, control equipment,
and communications devices using multiple communication protocols.
RS232 and RS485 and two RJ11/RJ12 attachment ports are standard Alpha

options on the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display  click here
for more information.

RS485
Echo Feature - This special feature allows the use of multiple
Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display master and slave displays and
RS485 communications without using an RS232 to RS485 Converter
Box. The first Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display display is
attached to the messaging PC with an Alpha RS232 Serial Cable or
an Ethernet cable. The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display
converts the RS232 or Ethernet data signal to an RS485 data signal
and transmits the RS485 signal out via the RS485 connector. Additional
Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display displays can be attached to the
first display using RS485 connectivity items (RS485 Modular Cables,
RS485 Network Adapters, and RS485 Network Cable).

Address
Each Display  Each Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display
can be given a unique address, so that messages and data may sent
by computer or control devices to different displays on the same cable,
wireless channel, modem phone number or TCP/IP address. 255 addresses
are available, and the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display address
may be set or changed easily with the remote control keyboard or using
a computer and special software. The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display
enclosure does not have to be opened.

Message
Verification and Error Checking  Built-in features ensure
that messages are received accurately when a computer or control equipment
sends messages or data to the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display
by cable.

Priority
Message  The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display has a
125-byte Priority message file that can be activated by special programming.
When the Priority message file is activated, all other message files
that are currently running stop being displayed. When the Priority
message is terminated, the other messages resume displaying.

Dimming
Feature  The brightness of the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display LEDs may be dimmed by a built-in optical sensor or by specifying
the time that dimming and undimming are to occur and the percentage
of brightness to be dimmed.

Overheating
Protection - Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display controls determine
when the internal temperature of the sign is too hot to continue normal
operation. Ambient external temperature and heat generated by the
LEDs affect the internal temperature. As the temperature inside the
sign rises, cooling fans are switched on. When the temperature falls
below the cooling fan threshold, the fans turn off. If the temperature
continues to rise, auto-dimming occurs, and the display goes into
a reduced power mode, dimming the brightness of the LEDs until the
temperature falls below the auto-dimming threshold level. For adequate
ventilation, allow at least 1 inch clearance all around the sign.

Internal
DIP Switches - The following Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display
features can be set with DIP switches located on the controller
board inside the sign.

Non-Blinking
String File Updates  The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display
supports "String Files" and real-time updating of String Files without
blinking the messages displayed on the sign. String files are memory
areas set aside in sign memory by special programming. One use of
String Files is to store changing data being updated by an external
device or computer. For example, the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display
could be programmed to display five (or more) ACD statistics fields
for each of ten (or more) ACD queues. As the real time values change
for each of the 50 variables (5 x 10), the updated values can be transmitted
into the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display instantly, without causing
the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display to blink and without affecting
the information currently being displayed. String Files can also be
used to save sign memory. For example, if the same data is displayed
multiple times within a message, the data can be stored once in a
String File and recalled from its String File location each time it
is needed.

Nested
Commands  For programmers writing control sequences using
native sign communication protocol, multiple commands can be repeated
or "nested" within a transmission frame.

Clear
Memory Easily  When debugging and testing software and messages
features, diagnostic control sequences may be entered to to clear
the memory of the sign quickly and conveniently, without opening the
Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display enclosure or taking it down from
where it is mounted. Clearing memory removes all messages, graphic
files and the password that have been programmed into the Alpha
Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display.

Wireless
News and Sports Service  The Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display can be equipped with a wireless broadcast receiver that
will display the latest news headlines, financial market summaries,
sports information and scores, in addition to your own messages. The
receiver and news service are extra charge options.

Update
Firmware Easily  When new features or firmware improvements
for the Alpha Eclipse 3600 Pure Color LED Display are announced by Adaptive
Micro Systems, firmware upgrades may be dowloaded from the Adaptive
Micro Systems web site, and the Flash RAM in the Alpha Eclipse
3600 Pure Color LED Display can be updated easily. There is no firmware EPROM
chip.
